A lkynes, Ketenes, Tin, NMR DataThe thermally induced decomposition o f ethoxyethynyl(trimethyl)tin (1) was studied by ll9Sn NM R which revealed the formation o f bis(trimethylstannyl) ketene (2) as the major product, bis(trimethylstannyl) acetic acid ethyl ester (3) as a minor product, and a small amount o f tetramethyltin (4). Full NM R data sets, including coupling constants and isotope induced chemical shifts 1 _ \ 12 13C( 1 l9Sn) are provided for 1 -3 . The first example o f ultra-high resolution " 9Sn NM R is shown.
